Breakfast, afternoon tea, or late-night snack, this strawberry banana bread recipe from Coles is so versatile and delicious!

🛒 Ingredients
- 2 cups (300g) self-raising flour
- 1 cup (220g) brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 bananas, overripe, mashed
- 2 Coles Brand Australian Free Range Eggs, lightly whisked
- 150g butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (125ml) buttermilk
- 1 cup (130g) chopped strawberries
- Strawberries, extra, halved or quartered, to decorate

🍓 Strawberry buttercream
- 75g strawberries, finely chopped
- 1 tbs caster sugar
- 125g butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups (240g) icing sugar mixture

🥣 Method
Step 1: Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line the base and sides of a 10cm x 22cm (base measurement) loaf pan with baking paper, allowing the 2 long sides to overhang.

Step 2: Place the flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisk the banana, egg, butter and buttermilk in a medium bowl. Add the egg mixture and chopped strawberry to the flour mixture and stir to combine. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Set aside in the pan for 5 mins to cool before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3: Meanwhile, to make the strawberry buttercream, combine strawberry and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 mins or until the sugar dissolves and strawberry breaks down. Cook for 2 mins or until mixture thickens slightly. Set aside to cool.

Step 4: Use an electric mixer to beat the butter in a bowl until very pale. Gradually add the icing sugar, beating well after each addition. Beat in the strawberry mixture.

Step 5: Spread the strawberry buttercream over the top of the banana bread. Top with halved or quartered strawberries.

Enjoy!
